BIBLE HAIKU

Return to PrayerSong
The Gendai Bible combines the holiness of Scripture with the ancient Japanese form of haiku. Each Bible
haiku reflects a chapter of Scripture in the seventeen syllable phrase that is the tradition of haiku poetry.
Bible haiku is like the light from a distant star. If we desire to know the planets, moons or
galaxy from which a starlight shines, we must go to the source. Similarly, to fully understand the content
of Bible haiku, we must go to the Scripture from which the poetry is composed. Or, like when enjoying
starlight, we can pause, meditate, and chant each haiku so that its spirituality can bless our soul.
